    Blu-ray Review Big Trouble in Little China Collector's Edition Blu-ray Review

    Love this movie! I have a 1:6 action figure of Jack Burton that I had Kurt Russell sign when I met him back in 2007. He had never seen one before and the girls from "Death Proof" were there and were teasing him because the pecs on the action figure were now not quite so prominent on the real Kurt.

    R.I.P. Joe Bologna -- Who Now Owns MY FAVORITE YEAR?

    One of my all time favorite films. I can't understand why this on isn't on Blu-ray. Love Joe Bologna's tough Sid Caesar-like character. "Ladies are unwell, Stone. Gentlemen vomit."

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Jack Reacher: Never Go Back -- in 4k UHD Blu-ray

    I think Cruise is just fine as Reacher, but when you've read all the books, as I have, it's best just to think of him as Reacher's little brother. The only reason I say this is that Reacher's size is a large part of his characterization in the books. But, like I said, Cruise delivers the...

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Oz The Great and Powerful 3D -- in Blu-ray

    I totally agree with you Robert. The 3D effects were absolutely stunning and I would have loved this picture if it had not been for Mr. Franco. I think I'll still pick it up, just to watch it on my 3D TV and show my boys, but it could have been so much better with one casting change.

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Jack Reacher -- in Blu-ray

    Apparently, you haven't read any James Ellroy. I am a fan of the books (and Ellroy, too), and while I was prepared to hate Cruise in the role of Reacher due only to the fact that he is about a foot shorter (and also for his offscreen peccadillos), I have to admit that he did a great job. One...

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Prometheus 3D-- in Blu-ray

    Regarding the tagline "Questions will be answered", where are the questions actually answered? I have the 3D set, but haven't dug into it yet except to quickly check out the 3D, which does look stunning. But, are the "questions" answered in the commentaries or supplements? I am assuming the...

    3D Blu-ray Review Marvel's The Avengers 3D Blu-ray Review

    No, it was like the whites of the eyes were glowing, especially in darker scenes, not the blue color like Hawkeye's eyes when he was being mind-controlled. I just watched Titanic 3D and saw nothing like this. I'll have to check my settings. The 3D "Automatic" setting was off on my TV for some...

    3D Blu-ray Review Marvel's The Avengers 3D Blu-ray Review

    I watched this in 3D over the weekend, and thought it looked fantastic, except at times it seemed like people's eyes were glowing, and their teeth to a much lesser extent. I've watched plenty of 3D movies on my 73" Mits, and this is the first one I've seen do that. I haven't checked out the 2D...

    Bought new Mits WD-73742 - but shows 493 hours in service menu

    After getting some advice on other forums and having a couple people with the same new model check their hours (about 8 hours after some viewing for both), I called Amazon yesterday and they are exchanging it for a new one. Fortunately, I can watch this one until the new one arrives and then...

    Bought new Mits WD-73742 - but shows 493 hours in service menu

    Just took delivery of a new Mits WD-73742 on Friday, 7/20. When I was setting it up, I noticed in the service menu that it had 493 hours on it already. I thought it may be a software glitch, but now I'm not so sure. Called Mitsubishi twice, and they said they can't trace a TV by the serial...

    DVD Review HTF DVD REVIEW: How the West Was Won: Ultimate Collector's Edition

    I don't like the idea of having to don a suit everytime I get the urge to watch HTWWW, so I think I'll go with the SD version. Then again, I don't have Blu-Ray player anyway (still have my old 65" Mits without HDMI), so I don't have a choice.

    Shooter - quick review

    Having read the book by Stephen Hunter some time ago, I was expecting to be disappointed, especially since they changed Swagger from being a Vietnam-era sniper to Ethiopia (?). However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that I enjoyed the movie quite a bit. Wahlberg continues to impress, and I...

    Grindhouse - New Tarantino/Rodriguez film announced..

    I am looking forward to the "Death Proof" portion if only for Kurt Russell. He can deliver lines that look absolutely stupid on paper and make them seem funny, cool, or threatening (sometimes all at the same time). I actually got to meet him at the Atlanta Motor Speedway on Sunday, and he was...

    Jesus Camp

    It's alright to state that religious groups should be given a "much closer look", but not to try to explain why this reasoning is at best faulty, and at worst unconstitutional? I thought we were all adults here, having a somewhat mature, if not civil, exchange of ideas, BOTH sides being given...

    Yes, it is your duty as an individual voting American to examine the beliefs of an individual candidate and see if they match your own. Then, you vote for the candidate who best matches your preferences. To say that Christian groups need to be given a "much closer look" sounds more like the road...

    my small buget home theatre setup (lots of pics)

    I would be careful about placing your components on top of the TV cabinet. If it bows it could distort the screen. I built a shelf to place on top of my 65" Mits RPTV out of 3/4" plywood, some slotted angle iron and 2x4's. The plywood is cut to the same dimensions as the top of the TV cabinet...

    Debbie Does Dallas:UE and The Devil in Miss Jones

    Then let's be tolerant of his perspective and respect his opinion. You don't expect to see brutal honesty on HTF, I don't expect to see threads about porn... hey we're both surprised.

    Is HDMI/DVI necessary for upconversion?

    So there are HD-DVD players that you can use component cables with and have HD output? I've got a 5 year old Mits 65" widescreen HDTV, and haven't really been keeping up with the whole HD-DVD thing because the original spec said you had to have HDMI or DVI inputs. What players have this capability?

    *** Official The Prestige Discussion Thread

    Actually, I believe this is Freddy. Olivia is not upset because he doesn't seem to love HER, she is upset that he never mentions Sarah after her suicide. Freddy never loved Sarah, so he could never display the proper grief of a widower when he was with Olivia. Just like Freddy could never...

    Michael, one of the tenets that our church uses is "In essential things, unity; in doubtful things, liberty; in all things, charity". Meaning, that in essential doctrines there should be unity, in things that are not specifically spelled out by the Bible (ie worship style) there is a certain...

    Just when I'd grown convinced that Peter O'Toole was lost for all but stunt casting..

    "Renfield!? My god, I thought he was dead!" "Double the lad's bet for me, you toad!" "Ladies are unwell, Stone. Gentlemen vomit." "He's plastered!" "So are some of the finest erections in Europe."

    But who is "they"? I've never met an evangelical Christian who seriously supports the idea of America becoming a theocratic nation. This is a fallacy, again using a fringe group, that is used to try to foment distrust against all evangelical Christians by calling them the radical Christian right...
